That threat, according to our own government, eminates not from some nebulus group being harbored within North Korea, but from North Korea itself. Pyongyang has threatened us with war unless we appease them.<br /><br />And the best the President can muster is to chide Sony for their business decisions?<br /><br />Obama says Sony, a "corporation", backed down in the face of threats made against it. But real live moviegoers were the ones facing that threat. Is he so wedded to the notion that corporations do not = people that he can't stand up and defend the public? <br /><br />And what are we going to do in response? Threaten sanctions?
